The crossing to the bus stop is a nightmare, there isn't even a crosswalk there. And considering this is near the freeway ramps, I assume that 5 lane road is quite busy. The rest isn't that bad. But that one crossing definitely deserves an on-demand stop light or better yet a pedestrian bridge or underground passage.
Are you looking at the same picture? I see a crosswalk from the bus stop side to the median at the nearest on-ramp access, then from that median to the sidewalk under the freeway.
It's clearly a lot of crossing to get to the bus stop, but the problem here is where the bus stops, not the current crossings provided. There are few other ways to provide non-grade access to a multi-lane freeway. I'm not sure of any which would be workable given the proximity of land use which prevents a cloverleaf, and the addition of one would probably make the crossing even more treacherous. If the bus were simply to add a stop on the (photographic) north side of the highway, up near the commercial entrance, that would be the nominal "solution" and require nothing more than a sign.
